There is no official limit in Penang and you can use them until you pull a red warning stamp then you're done.I wouldn't trust anything anything an embassy, an agent or the immigration office says :O but that's just me.
I can say with 100% certainty right now there is NO official rule and people who say there is, are pulling imaginary rules out of their backsides. :/

what is the reason you want to hit the thai consulate in Penang again?
You run a HIGH risk of getting the red warning stamp meaning you can't use Penang again for a tourist visa.
